Synopsis

THIS IS NOT A REBOOT. It is an entirely original comedy, inspired by the cinematic ‘classic' “Anaconda,” that features Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd), who have been best friends since they were kids and always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie. When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming.

Moviegoers are saying
This Jack Black and Paul Rudd comedy delivers exactly what audiences expect - a hilariously self-aware parody that had entire theaters laughing throughout, though a few viewers found the pacing sluggish. Most reviewers describe it as 'stupid-funny' with surprising horror elements and clever meta-commentary reminiscent of Tropic Thunder's film-within-a-film concept.

The film reminded me of tropic thunder with Jack black’s involvement and the film within the film. The dialogue was hilariously written. A good family fun holiday flick

Whenever there’s a lull here, a big laugh soon comes along with the force of a boa constrictor that conceals the flaws.

The comedy level is well-sustained throughout the film. There is no shortage of comedy in the first half. But it really is the second half when one is able to stop making the predictions and relax into the laughs. At that point, all snake hell breaks loose and the pace accelerates quickly enough that it’s easier to go along with it.

It’s an inspired idea, even though a lot of the industry inside jokes may go over most moviegoers’ heads. The playfulness of this self-referential structure gives the movie a zany energy off the top that it ultimately can’t sustain.
